NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. The first time that I had heard any thing about the trade center was when I first woke up in the morning my mom told me that an airplane had crashed into the south tower and it was on all the news channels. When I first went out to the living room to watch, my sister was already out in the living room watching the trade towers burning. After about a few minutes of watching I saw another airplane coming towards the north tower and slamed into the tower in a huge explosion. That day was a regularly school day except that every classroom had a TV with the news on what had happened to the trade towers and what they were doing to save any one that was caught in the colapse of the trade towers. Only in the afternoon did I hear that a former cross country runners dad was on the first plane that hit the south trade tower. It was very upseting that something like that hit so close to home. That day I just realized how luckey I was and how very unlucky many people were that had died in the colapse. That day I think really touched a lot of people in different ways, some more painful than others. Even though I didn't have any close relatives that died that day it still hit me very hard that people could actully think that it was ok to kill as many people that they did. I think that America has changed but not for the worst but for the better. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001?
